WOMEN SUGAR
ARE CHEATING AMERICA
tThat Shopper Who Gets Two Pounds at One Store, Two at
I Another and So on Schemes at the Expense of Our Sol
I diers and Our Allies A Poor Sense of Humor
TN

A LETTER concerning women
who refuse to live up to the sugar
regulations a reader sums up the
matter very neatly.
"It is a puzzle to me," she writes,
"how women can go around from store
to Btore and try to beat the Govern
ment out of sugar. They may think
EjW they are putting something oer on the
p srocers. 1 think they are putting It
V-over on their country." (
WOMEN who go to one store nnd
get their couple of pounds of
sugar and then to another and so on
are what Is known in the terms of
the food administration as "repeater "

achievements and confide them laugh

country. A queer thing to laugh
about. Isn't it7 Not only our soldiers

different kinds of people the lepeater's

THE following Sunday the Press sup
plement printed my essay, along
with the other prize-winners; on Monday
Colonel Southard, the editor, sent for me.
and, wasting no words, put Into my hands
the omciai announcement oi tne spring
. .course of farmers' lectures at the univer

cultural College ; this course was a new
feature In the curriculum, comprising
three lectures a week for the next month
When I gave the notice back to the
editor, he pushed his spectacles up on
his forehead, looked ma through ana
through and asked whether I thought I
could report those lectures for his news
paper, making them interesting to the
folks out on the farm. Receiving an af
firmative reply. Colonel Southard then
told me that the pay, though small, was
sure and might lead to something bet
ter, gave me some Instruction and a copy
of the style book and sent me off to
tnake arrangements about leaving the
hospital and find a bonrdlng p'ace
It turned out, as I had anticipated,
that the superintendent was quite willing
to have me go because the children's
ward was now so overcrowded that the
staff required more help than could be
furnished by a young girl In part-tlmo
work; accordingly I packed up In a
hurry with the intention of returning to

MILLION'S of housekeepers all over
the land are cheerfully living
within the sugar laws. They nre not
trusting to their Imaginations cither
about what the allowunus per day per
person should bo In order to total a
half pound a eek or two pounds
a month. They lluuro It out by tne
spoonful.
lloughly speaking the allowance
recommended by the food administra
tion for each meal Is a teaspoonful,
not heaping but rounding.
The following schedule for the aver
age family has been suggested:
Hieakf.ist (for the enthe family)
live rounding teaspoonfuls of sugar
for cereal.
iath r and mother, ono rounding
teaspoonful each for coffee.
Luncheon (for the children) three
rounding tca.spoonfuls of sugar for
cocoa This means three tcaspoonfuls
for the entlio group of chlldien.
Dinner (for tho entile family) five
rounding teatpoonfuls sugar for des
desert (fresh fruit).
Total amount of sugar used on the
table, fifteen founding teaspoonfuls
daily
If this schedule Is followed with a
small or moderate family, the house
wife will And that at the end of the
weel. she will have of a cupful of
sugar which can be used for cooking
some advantage to the house to hev a
guest that took n prize from the 'We Pee
to Yours' and Is engaged in literary
work."
"Oh, Mrs. Dordon." I exclaimed, "even
If I am going to live In your attic for a
while. I'm not 'engaged In literary
work." "
Her face fell. "Why. when I answered
the telephone you said In my good ear
that you was a-goln' to write some farm
in' pieces fr the Press."
"But that's not 'literary work It's
not even holding down a cub reporter's
Job."
The landlady could not have shown
more excitement If at that moment the
cook had dashed Into the yard and In
formed her that the kitchen unller had
burst After the worst was over, she
drew a long breath and demanded, "Then
what on earth Is If"
"It's only a trvout."
"But." Mrs Bordon was as practical
as a cash register, "you're sure of beln'
paid, ain't you?"
"As long as I last, yes."
"Oh, I'll trust you to land on your feet.

It Is surprising what a tasel will do
by way of giving just the right finishing
touch to a belt of girdle, particularly
on n satin or taffeta dress And when
they can be secured so reasonably, and
such attractive ones .at that, there Is
little excuse for omitting tho little extra
touch that would be tho making of a

today's find In the first place, It Is
sterling silver, no larger than a twenty-five-cent
piece and hardly as thick. It
Is of engine-turned finish, which means
that the surface Is striped with fine

for an Initial. It Is not rounded, how
ever, but Is six or eight sided, and Inside

lightful little trinket for chain or rib

Is He Too Good-Looking?
Dear Cynthia The other evening a girl
friend nnd I nnd an -argument and wo de
cided to write to you and ask you and the
girls and boys who read your column to give
their opinions. My girl friend hsa been going
around with a man evenono soys Is very
good looking. Some ne eald he Is the
handsomest man they have ever seen. And
now since he has gone to camp and has on r
uniform he looks better than ever Now, the
point Is this! While this girl friend that I
peak of Is not homely, slio Is still nowhere
near as good-looking a girl as. ho Is a man.
He haa always been very nice to her and
has asked her to marry htm. but she thtnka
If she would marry a man so much better
looking than she Is she would b unhappy, an
after a while he would get tired of her. The
reason we were arguln Is because there Is
another fellow Just ordinary In looks but a
very good fellow who would pay attention
to her If she would encourage him. I told
her to stick to the one every ono says In so
iMndsome, because he has never been con.
celted or In the least way thought he was
better than anv one else on account of his
looks. What do you say and voup renders?
TWENTY-ONE.
I think on this occasion the opinions
of the boy and girl luiders will be more
Interesting than mine. Personally, I think
actual pretty features do f,,l matter ont
way or another in a girl's looks. A girl
can always bo nice looking If she is
careful about her appearance nnd ar
ranges her hair becomingly. Many happy
marriages havo resulted between exceptional-looking
men and very plain women.
If a "handsome" man Is susceptible (o the
attention of women and is flirtatious he
can make his wife very unhappy. But
If he Is a real man underneath the good
looks he won't care a snap about other
girls. I don't think your young friend
has sufficient grounds for giving up the
friend In camp. The big thing Is, Is she
really In love with him 7 Perhaps some

Denr Cynthia Would II he correct to in
vlte a young man to a houre party? I hne
an Invitation to go to a house party and
I have to own up that It Is the first I have
ever gone to. II havo been asked to bring a
partner, as the other girls all will hive
boys there that they know very well. The
nouse party In at the home of a girl rrlend
of mine and her parents will be there. Do
you think It would be all right to ask a
sailor Mho has called on me three tlmfa? I
don't know many bojs. WOItlttBD.
It Is perfectly proper to Invite a man
to a house party when your hostess tells
you to. I think It would be pleasant to
bring the sailor, as we nre trying to
give our boys as much wholesome enter
tainment as we can. Ask him I am
sure he will enjoy a house party.

The boy no doubt was only trying to
tease you by pulling your hair an4j
your collars. It was natural of you tcV,
refuse to let him walk with you If !i'
would not stop teasing. And there m
no reason for him to take the scolding asi
an Indication of your not liking him. Do
